Summary.

FOR obvious reasons we are unable to furnish miscellaneous extracts from the Indian newspapers in our present number; we must not omit, however, to insert a slight summary of such intelligence as is most interesting.

CALCUTTA. An important question was introduced into the Supreme Court on the 19th Sept. 1823, whether the Government possessed the right of confining an individual ordered to leave the country, until a vessel could be provided for his conveyance. This question arose in the case of a Mr. Arnot, Assistant Editor of the Calcutta Journal. An offensive paragraph had appeared in that newspaper (S0th Aug.) adverting to the old story of Dr. Bryce and Mr. Buckingham, and the new laws restricting the Calcutta press. Mr. Arnot was residing in India without license: in consequence, therefore, of the paragraph we have just mentioned, a warrant was issued for his immediate transmission to Europe. On appearing before the magistrates, he was required to furnish proper security for immediately comply. ing with the mandate. This being refused, or at least omitted on his part, he was apprehended and placed under confine ment. A writ of habeas corpus was immediately obtained by his legal advisers, and Mr. Arnot was brought before the Supreme Court, whore the question was argued at great length by counsel before Sir F. Macnaghten and Sir A. Buller. Owing to some little indistinctness in the wording of the Acts of Parliament authorizing the Governor-General in Coun cil to send home any individuals residing in India without license, the Judges embrac ed opposite sentiments. Sir F. Macnaghten argued, that liberty being imperfect in India, it was therefore the more necessary

to be careful of what existed; he thought, therefore, that the applicant was strictly entitled to the benefit of the most favourable construction of the Acts. Sir A. Buller, in pronouncing an opposite opinion, observed, that every individual residing without a license was, by law, in hourly commission of a misdemeanor; and "that when under such circumstances the several Acts enabled the Company, through the Governor-General, to seize, take, arrest, and send to England any British subject who should so come to this country in opposition to the law, he conceived that the Legislature did intend to vest him with the power of keeping and detaining him, till an opportunity offered of sending him to England." Buller laid great stress upon a precedent quoted by the Advocate- General (Mr. Fer. gusson), viz. the case of Duban, in 1791, when a writ of habeas corpus was applied for, and a return being made that he had been confined in the fort by order of the Governor-General, Sir Robert Chambers, the chief justice, decided that the Court could not release him.

Sir A.

On the decision of the Court (Sir F. Macnaghten filling the office of Chief Justice pro tem.), Mr. Arnot was immediately released.

We congratulate the profession in India in having now two opposite precedents to facilitate their future pleadings.

The new Bishop of Calcutta arrived at Fort William in the beginning of October. We hope that he will be the means of composing certain unfortunate differences which have most unaccountably arisen be. tween the leading members of several epis. copal societies for the conversion of the Hindoos. The friends of the Church Mis. sionary Society proposed lately to establish an association at Calcutta for the better accomplishment of the objects of the general institution. It appears from the corres. pondence inserted in the Calcutta papers between the chief promoters of this design, and two other gentlemen, viz. Mr. Mill, the Principal of Bishop's College, and Mr. Hawtaine, the Chaplain of St. James's Church, that the latter gentlemen considered that several material innovations were about to be introduced, and that they deprecated the formation of the association on the principles proposed, until the

arrival of the Bishop, who was expected in about a month from that time. So far as we can judge from the correspondence, we are disposed to think that the objection was not unfounded; at all events we think that the most proper course would have been to postpone the adoption of any new measures until the arrival of the Bishop. We have no wish, however, to enter further into the subject at present, and sincerely hope that we shall never have any occasion to advert to it again..

Education appears to be making most rapid progress. The School-Book Society, which our readers are well aware is most extensively and liberally patronized, has published a report of its proceedings. The establishment of a society to furnish books for every branch of education amongst the natives of India, has given an impulse which has produced effects beyond our most sanguine hopes. "European teaching is found to be highly acceptable to the natives." Previously to the formation of the School-Book Society there were but few native schools under European management; but the Calcutta School Society, independently of other establishments, has now eighty-four schools within the limits of the town. The SchoolBook Society supplies all schools indiscri. minately with the most eligible elementary books. So persuaded is the Government of the great advantages that may be expected to result from the system of education which is now in progress, that it has determined to appropriate a lac of rupees annually to this object, in addition to all former grants.

The Serampore Native Female Society, lately established, meets with the greatest encouragement. There are seventeen schools on the Society's lists, and three hundred and thirty-five children. The average at tendance is about two hundred and thirty. This is in Serampore and the immediate neighbourhood. In former numbers of our Journal we have detailed the progress that has been making in and about Calcutta we are happy to add a third place, which, we humbly trust, is likely to become shortly the centre of an extensive sphere of female education, an opportunity of introducing female schools having lately occurred at Allahabad.
